Anthony Hopkins's 'Hitchcock' gets new poster, moves release forward

Upcoming biopic Hitchcock has released a new poster to mark its US release date being moved forward to this year.

The film, formerly known as Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho, was originally set for release in 2013, but will now debut in US cinemas on November 23, with the UK release date yet to be confirmed.

The move is believed to be on behalf of studio executives wishing to bolster the film's chances in awards season, with many of the contenders traditionally being released in the winter period.

The film, which features Sir Anthony Hopkins as the legendary director, is helmed by Anvil! The Story of Anvil director Sacha Gervasi, and boasts an impressive cast made up of the likes of Dame Helen Mirren, Scarlett Johansson, Toni Collette and Jessica Biel.
